​Principles of Macroeconomics, Ninth Canadian Edition, breaks down concepts and emphasizes important themes for students. It is the most widely used economics textbook on the market, perfectly complementing instructor lessons. Students should expect to gain a solid understanding of economic theory through real-world applications. While it prepares students for advanced economics studies, it also speaks to people in other fields. Mankiw stresses big-picture ideas, ensuring learners are grounded in essential economic concepts and principles.

Principles is built around the idea that “every decision is an economic decision.” It is the perfect choice for Canadian principles of economics courses and for economics majors and nonmajors alike.

Principles of Macroeconomics, Seventh Canadian Edition, is designed to appeal to all students through its breakdown of concepts, focus on big ideas, and user-friendly language. As the market leader, its clear, concise, and consistent approach grounds students in difficult concepts and links theory to real-world applications, assisting in making the connection from page to action. Students receive a sophisticated understanding of how the economy operates without losing the big ideas through various pedagogical features that summarize major concepts, apply economic theory to students' experiences and lives, and develop the building blocks required to achieve higher levels of understanding. As Mankiw states, "My goal in writing my text was to try and remember and to write a text that I would have liked to have read", and this is the same approach he, Kneebone, and McKenzie have continued with the Seventh Canadian Edition.

This special edition of Greg Mankiw’s intermediate macroeconomics text takes the same approach that made the parent text a bestseller, with coverage shaped to address fiscal policy, monetary and exchange-rate policy, deficit reduction, and other critical economic issues from the uniquely Canadian perspective. Like Mankiw’s Macroeconomics, the Canadian edition teaches fundamentals with exceptional clarity by relating theoretical concepts to vital issues and policy debates, while illustrating those ideas with examples, cases, and research from Canada and Canadian researches. The new edition is significantly updated, with a streamlined version of Greg’s hallmark approach and powerful new digital learning options.

For the Third Edition, 2001 Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz joins forces with new co-author Carl Walsh, who brings both economic expertise and teaching savvy to the project. Together, Stiglitz and Walsh thoroughly integrate contemporary economics into the traditional curriculum. Informed by the broad range of research that earned Professor Stiglitz the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, the first edition of this text pioneered important topics relating to the economics of imperfect markets, which are today's standard in all principles texts. Only this text, however, gives those topics serious attention, with complete chapters on imperfect information in product markets, imperfections in labor markets, technological change, and environmental externalities, as well as a complete chapter on strategic behavior.
